I want to enjoy all of the pleasures that life offers, while I can.

Youre acting like cancer/euphawhatever is fast and painless, sure you won't go through what some do when theyre old because you probably wont live that long, but you'll have a whole host of other painful things to see you on your way out. And what if, what you would naturally have died from if you hadnt smoked, we get a cure for? What if we invent some huge thing that helps quality of life a lot? It's not super likely that we will but look at how much progresss we've made, who knows what the future holds? You make the same mistake that most youth make, you assume an old person is basically worthless and not worth living/keeping alive.
